	Catholic Answers Special Report: Liturgical Abuses
		All liturgical norms that a conference of bishops will have established for its territory in accordance with the law are to be submitted to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments for the recognitio [approval], without which they lack any binding force (28).
		From the fact that the liturgical celebration obviously entails activity, it does not follow that everyone must necessarily have something concrete to do beyond the actions and gestures, as if a certain specific liturgical ministry must necessarily be given to the individuals to be carried out by them.
		It is fitting that such a one should have received a liturgical formation in accordance with his or her age, condition, state of life, and religious culture.

	USCCB - (Liturgy) - Ministries and Roles Within the Liturgical Assembly at Mass
		When the Church comes together in the liturgical assembly to celebrate the Mass, or any other sacrament, her members do not gather simply as a crowd, as an amorphous, undifferentiated group of people.
		In addition to the ordained ministries there are roles in the liturgy which are exercised by lay people who place their time and talent at the service of the liturgical assembly as acolytes (altar servers), lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, cantors, choir members, instrumentalists, leaders of song and ushers.
		Those engaged in liturgical roles need to be well-prepared for those roles and to know how to carry them out with reverence, dignity and understanding.

	Notes
		For in liturgical worship we are not only put "in contact" with God, but are given the vision of the Kingdom of God, as fulfillment in Him of all that exists, of all that He has created for Himself, and also we are made partakers of that new Reality.
		But the real liturgical teaching and it is here that we approach the heart of the whole matter- is precisely the explanation of the liturgy in its connection to life, revelation of its "existential" power.
		As such, this liturgical teaching is almost diametrically opposed to the popular and extremely superficial "symbolical" interpretation of rites, interpretation which "fits" very well the secularistic mentality because it does not challenge, judge or question anything in it.

		The "sign of the cross" is a liturgical gesture made by tracing a small cross on one’s forehead or lips or by touching the forehead, then the chest, then the shoulders (left then right for Roman Catholics) with the fingers of the right hand (or left, if left-handed).
		Liturgically, the deacon is charged with proclamation of the Gospel and general intercessions.
		The two distinct periods of this liturgical season (winter and late spring-summer-fall), known as Ordinary Time, are for exploring the fullness of the Christian mystery and its meaning for everyday life.

	THE LITURGICAL CHANT ACCORDING TO THE CARPATHO-Rusyn TRADITION
		Liturgical chant became an integral part of Christian worship since Apostolic times in agreement with the admonition of St. Paul: "With gratitude in your heart sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God" (Col. 3:16).
		In the Carpathian region liturgical as well as folk music was transmitted from one generation to another by means of oral tradition.
		In Subcarpathian Ruthenia liturgical chant started to be systematically cultivated only at the turn of the 18th century, when some educated cantors, who had received their musical formation in the famous monastic schools of Kiev, Pochajiv, or L'viv, arrived on the scene.

	Reflections on the Liturgical Reform
		The liturgical reform today can no longer be considered statically, in the documents which it founded, but must be seen in its dynamic aspect, paying attention to a multiplicity of elements which, although not foreseen by the Novus Ordo, has become a whole part of what can be defined as contemporary liturgical praxis.
		The liturgical reform presents itself then as the Word of the new theology which takes flesh, that is to say praxis, in "self-realizing" the Church by the new secularized liturgy.
		That means that one cannot imagine a liturgical reform or restoration that disregards the difficulties of a reform or restoration considered theologically, ecclesiologically, and culturally.

	Liturgical year at AllExperts
		The liturgical year, also known as the Christian year, consists of the cycle of liturgical seasons in some Christian churches which determines when Feasts, Memorials, Commemorations, and Solemnities are to be observed and which portions of Scripture are to be read.
		The liturgical cycle divides the year into a series of seasons, each with their own mood, theological emphases, and modes of prayer, which can be signified by different ways of decorating churches, vestments for clergy, scriptural readings, themes for preaching and even different traditions and practices often observed personally or in the home.
		Western Christian liturgical calendars are based on the cycle of the Roman or Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church, including Protestant calendars since this cycle pre-dates the Protestant Reformation.

	Liturgical Spirituality
		An era of liturgical reform often forgotten is the period from the Council of Trent (1563) to the advent of the Second Vatican Council (1963).
		A historical analysis of liturgical time would yield interesting facts but the principal issue facing the early church was the fading from the Church’s consciousness the eschatological emphasis to a Church that was reconciled to and comfortable in time.
		The beginning of the Liturgical year and lectionary are narratives of the beginning of Jesus’ life and ministry and unfolds throughout the year to the apex of the passion, death, and resurrection stories.

	THE LITURGICAL YEAR
		During the different seasons of the liturgical year, the Church, in accord with traditional discipline, carries out the formation of the faithful by means of devotional practices, both interior and exterior, instruction, and works of penance and mercy.
		The arrangement for celebrating the liturgical year is governed by the calendar: the General Calendar, for use in the entire Roman Rite, or a particular calendar, for use in a particular Church or in families of religious.
		The cycle of the liturgical year should stand out with its full preeminence, but at the same time the celebration of the saints should not be permanently impeded.

	Why is the Lutheran Church a Liturgical Church?
		The Lutheran Church is a liturgical church because it is a catholic church.
		The Lutheran Church is a liturgical church because it is an orthodox church.
		The liturgical ceremonies of the Lutheran Church, many of which have their origin in the apostolic church, are indeed useful for the maintenance of dignity in worship and for the cultivation of reverence and devotion among worshipers.

	Catholic World News : Extreme Liturgical Abuse
		Kath.net reports that a staff member in the Roman Curia, who is acquainted with the liturgical disorders in Linz, remarked that eventual canonical sanctions could include suspension for the deacon who simulated a sacrament and early retirement for the diocesan bishop who tolerated the liturgical abuses.
		The Church's regulation of the liturgy is not a yoke; it does not serve the letter of the law, but rather is meant to be an instrument of the Holy Spirit, who wishes to express himself, not in a spontaneity devoid of rules, but rather in a form that is appropriate for him.
		Liturgical planning is successful when it places itself entirely at the service of this “event,” which is the center and substance of the Eucharistic celebration.

	Sadlier We Believe
		The Liturgical Year begins on the first Sunday of Advent, which usually occurs around the beginning of December or the end of November, and ends on the feast of Christ the King.
		However, the purpose of the Liturgical Year Calendar is not to mark the passage of time, but to celebrate and understand more fully the entire mystery of Jesus Christ, from his incarnation and birth until his ascension, the day of Pentecost, and the expectation of his return in glory.

	Bad Habits: Can we correct liturgical abuse in religious communities? by The Rev. Vincent Capuano, SJ
		Our archbishop, who is the chairman of the liturgical commission of the Argentine bishops conference, promotes this type of flexibility, but at the same time encourages that the sacred liturgy be well-planned, thought-out and done with solemn simplicity according to the norms of the Roman Church.
		Liturgical abuse is now a cultural problem, the product of bad habits -- vices, if you will -- that have become part of a sub-culture of the Church and of religious communities in particular.
		Liturgical training means more than just formal classroom education, it means that religious groups should help one another form their priests and ministers by cross-celebrating and cross-apprenticing.

	About the Liturgical Calendar
		The liturgical year is the temporal structure within which the Church celebrates the holy mysteries of Christ: "From the Incarnation and the Nativity to the Ascension, to Pentecost and to the wait in joyful hope for the Lord's coming" (109).
		In the liturgical year, "the celebration of the Paschal Mystery [...] is the most privileged moment in the daily, weekly and annual celebration of Christian worship" (110).
		Consequently, the priority of the Liturgical year over any other devotional form or practice must be regarded as a touchstone for the relationship between Liturgy and popular piety.

	Liturgical Music Today
		In the liturgical ministry of music, more and more capable persons are assuming roles of leadership as cantors, instrumentalists and members of choirs.
		Today the elements which lend themselves to singing (the psalms and canticles with their antiphons, the hymns, responsories, litanies and prayers, and the acclamations, greetings and responses) should be sung in accordance with the relative solemnity of the celebration.
		Colleges and universities offering courses of studies in liturgical music, as well as a growing number of regional and diocesan centers for the formation of liturgical ministers, are encouraged to initiate or to continue programs which develop musical skills and impart a thorough understanding of the liturgy of the Church.

	The Curt Jester: Liturgical Anonymous
		Many liturgical addicts deny they have a problem and will often brow beat those who complain about their "little changes" to make the liturgy more relevant and more oriented to the people.

		Thanks to Liturgical Anonymous I am now relearning my craft and sitting at the feet of the masters who have gone before me. Not that everything has to be Baroque or Romanesque, but that it must be oriented towards the divine architect.

	Theologia :: Worship :: Why Presbyterians Don't Like Liturgy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The last dimension of liturgical worship I should call attention to in this very short description is that any liturgy that purports to be biblical will involve not only the whole body of Christ, but also the bodies of the congregation.
		Liturgical worship and theology have fared much better in what we would consider largely liberal or neo-orthodox Presbyterian churches (like the PCUSA or even the Church of Scotland), a fact that may even contribute to confessional Presbyterians' suspicion of all things liturgical.
		Whether we Presbyterians are still justified in rejecting liturgical worship because of its past (and present) associations with Episcopalian and Roman Catholic churches is a theological and historical research project that desperately needs attention.
